Unexplained symptoms tend to be more common among:
- women
- younger people
- people who've recently had an infection or physical illness,or those affectedby the ill health or death of a relative
- people who've previously experienced problems such as depression and anxiety
The reason women appear to be affected more than men may simply be that women are more likely to see their GP.And older people may appear to be less affected because many older people don't like to bother their GP.
